This block was originally created by me when my uncle gave me an old thread crochet beadspread that was made by his great grandmother for her hope chest when she was just a teenager in the 1860s. I reverse engineered the square and modified it to use worsted weight yarn and an H crochet hook, although you could make this in lighter weight yarn, just adjust your hook size down accordingly.

This makes a very pretty blanket that you can use on your couch or chair, or on your bed!
